On December 4, 2020, it was announced that Alcatrazz had parted ways with vocalist Graham Bonnet and recruited vocalist Doogie White following conflicts regarding the band’s management. Within a few hours after this announcement, Bonnet announced that he would “still be recording and performing with Alcatrazz”, with a new lineup to be announced in the spring of 2021, and a new album in the works. Bonnet later clarified that one of the reasons behind the split was the remaining members of the Born Innocent lineup wanted to “only tour” with his former manager Giles Lavery, and added that it “meant that they had quit.” He also stated that he was “not bothered” by the existence of two bands named Alcatrazz, had “no plans to relinquish” the band name, and referred to his replacement Doogie White as a “good friend and a damn fine performer.” On June 4, 2021, the first single from the White-fronted Alcatrazz, “Turn of the Wheel” was released. A few days later, Jeff Loomis ( Nevermore , Sanctuary ) was announced as the guitarist for the Bonnet-led lineup, now referred to as Graham Bonnet’s Alcatrazz.
